This is a great list:
1) you're leaking coolant somewhere
2) bad fan clutch and/or loose belt (should be stiff after driving with the car at operating temps
3) bad coolant sensors, check for ecu codes
4) debris blocking the rad or a/c condensor
5) blockage in the coolant pipes (excessive permatex on the thermostat and coolant pipes)
6) air in the system
7) failing radiator cap (to hold pressure)
8) leaking/broken reserve resevoir
9) improper mixture of coolant
10) lack of plastic splash guards underneath the bumper and wheel wells

But you are missing the other tangibles like:
1) Turbos being run out of efficiency
2) Constant WOT/brake/WOT/brake (think road course)
3) High cylinder temps (detonation, lean mixture, etc.)

I know these things, especially #3, play in with keeping the stock cooling system maintained, but they are items to consider.
